- FROM THE HUNTER COLLECTION. Ex Link. A condition census level example of the die marriage, struck during the final year of the lettered edge type. Towards the end of the year, the mint finally installed a steam press that would strike half dollars, allowing for a closed collar to impart reeding on the edge, eliminating a step in the minting process, and creating a new type. The half dollars of 1836 make a neat transitional pair. Bold, rolling cartwheel luster blooms with a robust brilliance on both obverse and reverse. Save for some minor weakness in the central portions of the design, the Kneass modified portrait has bold, crisp definition throughout. The surfaces are a billowing silver with a bold satin sheen that offers just the slightest blush of clear gold. There are a few tiny ticks, all of which are accounted for in PCGS's assessment of the grade and none detract from the outstanding eye appeal. PCGS 62, NGC 84. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $3,900 and this is the one that sold in the 2014 Central States auction for $3,819. Worthy of a very strong bid again, as it is quite pleasing, high end, and is from the greatest collection of Capped Bust halves ever. Cert. Number 30449988 PCGS # 006169
